Daniel Gorelick concluded the five reasons why scientific research is cool, do you agree?

• You’re encouraged to find flaws in people’s work and correct them
• No dress code – I didn’t know how to tie a proper tie knot before I came to the State Department
• Make your own schedule – no 8:30 to 17:15 with a 45 minute requirement for lunch. Many grad students work 12:00 to 20:00.
• Constant intellectual stimulation
• Cutting edge exploration – make a discovery and you are the first person to know something nobody else knows
